Comden & Green and Their Two "Town" Triumphs
Writing
partners Betty Comden and Adolph Green made a huge splash in their 1944
Broadway debut, On the Town. Eight
years later they followed up with another smash hit about their native New
York, Wonderful Town. Both shows boasted music by their great friend
Leonard Bernstein. Charles Troy’s presentation will tell the story behind these
two fabulous shows. Interestingly, the Marriott Theatre is about to produce
"On the Town" beginning in August - and Marriott has discovered,
astonishingly, that it is the first Chicago-area professional production ever
for this famous wartime musical!
